IMPROVED BUTTON-HOLE LINING Poe OARRIAGEGURTAINSi TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: v

Be it known that I, JOHN BARCLAY, of Attleborough, in the county of Bristol, and State of Massachusetts,

have invented a new and improved Button-Hole Lining for Carriage-Curtains; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full; clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings,,forming part of this Specification, in which-- Figure 1 represents a face view of my improved button-hole lining. v

Figure 2 is a. central section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate correspondingparts.

This invention relates to a new nianner of-lining button-holes: for carriage'curtains, with a view to strengthening the edge, and to facilitate the fastening and unfastening'from the knob, as well as to prevent the spontaneous release of the curtain from the knob.

The invention cannot be used in connection with the ordinary carriage-knobs, but is more particularly intended to be used with the carriage-knobs for which Letters Patent, Nos. 69,959 and 69,965, were granted, on

.the 22d of October, respectively to myself, and-to R; D. Case andmyseli'.

The invention consists in forming the lining of three annular plates and one eyelet, the eyelet serving to hold the plates in position. i v I A, in the drawing, represents a section of a carriagecurtain, of ordinary or. suitable construction and material;

A series of round button-holes,.arrauged through the curtain; is lined each with three plates, 13 O D, and

' with an eyelet, E, as showm The plates 13 O are mad e of sheet metal or other suitable material, are of nearly or quite equal size, and perforated with holes of equal diameters. The plates 13 O are on opposite sides of the curtain, and the'plate D, which is placed against the face of B, is, or should by preference be, of no larger diameterthan t-he abutting fl'ange a of the eyelet. I I Y I The eyelet is, with its flange a, placed against theplate O, and is then clinched so as to lap over the plate D, as shown, and to thus lock the plates in position, as well as to hide their inner edges, as is clearly shown in fig. 2.

I claini as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent 1 A carriage-curtain button-hole lining, consisting of the three annular plates B, O, and D, and of the eyelet E, all made and operating substantially as herein shown and described.

The above specification of my invention signed by me, this 8th day of February, 1868.

JOHN BARCLAY.
